前數天還很是期待,可是,這兩天便很不快—
原來,
離開自己生活的地方,
即使是十天,
你所錯失的便是這十天的生活—
十天無法彌補的生活,
因為,
不在此地,
不能謀其事;
十天後回來,
你便是一個與生活隔絕的new comer......
在擠滿了乘客的巴士上層,坐無虛席—
我的眼前有四個站著的乘客:一位伯伯、一位婆婆和兩名男孩;
我鼓起最大的勇氣,從座位上站起來,跟眼前的四位乘客說:「婆婆,你過來坐吧—」
話剛落下,婆婆還沒來及婉拒我的讓坐,其中一名男孩便一枝箭地衝過來,把我讓出的位置一屁股地坐下—
我沒話說,只是背着書包站在巴士的上層,填補第四位站著的乘客,等候車子到站。
可是,在等候的其間,我的深深地反省自己的行為—
我,是否做錯了?!使人性的醜惡瞬間暴露,奇怪的是,坐著的人無一發聲,無一聲討我的不是,亦無一責怪男孩,那麼說,我和他,都沒錯吧?!
錯,在誰的身上?!是老人嗎?
老人勞碌半生,晚年乘巴士得不到讓坐,是人之常情?!
讓坐於老人是個人的抉擇,不應受到褒貶?!
孩子是社會的未來棟樑,勇於爭取座位是對的!?
我沒有結論,只有信念,那就是— 繼續讓坐於有需要的人,確保真正有需要的,可以得到一個安穩的座位。
A Poem for the West or
What Do You Really Want from Us?
When we were the Sick Man of Asia, we were called The Yellow Peril. When we are billed to be the next Superpower, we are called The Threat.
When we closed our doors, you smuggled drugs to open markets. When we embrace Free Trade, Youu blame us for taking away your jobs.
When we were falling apart, You marched in your troops and wanted yout fair share. When we tried to put the broken pieces back together again, Free Tibet you screamed, It Was an Invasion!
When we tried Communism, you hate us for being Capitalist. When we embrace Capitalism, you hate us for being Capitlist.
When we have a billion people, you said we were destorying the planet. When we limiting our numbers, you said we abused human rights.
When we were poor, you thought we were dogs. When we load you cash, you blame us for your national debts.
When we build our industries, you call us Polluters. When we sell you goods, you blame us for global warming.
When we buy oil, you call it exploitation and genocide. When you go to war for oil, you call it liberation.
When we were lost in chaos and rampage, you demanded rules of law. When we uphold law and order against violence, you call it violating human rights.
When we were silent, you said you wanted us to have free speech. When we are silent no more, you say we are brainwashed-xenophobics.
"Why do you hate us so much," we asked.
"No," you answered, "we don't hate you."
We don't hate you either, But, do you understand us?
"Ofcourse we do," you said, " We have AFP, CNN and BBC's ...."
What do you really want from us?
Think hard first, then answer..... Because you only get so many chances. Enough is Enough, Enough Hypocrisy for This One World.
We want One World, One Dream, and Peace on Earth. This Big Blue Eath is Big Enough for all of Us.

明天的這時候,我將會在開平海景酒店的廂房中歇息,或許我會累得倒頭便睡,或許我會龍精虎猛地跟朋友談天說地,或許我會在聚精會神地製作NICE BOAT,或許、或許,真是太多的或許了,沒有一個是沒可能,沒有一個是絕對的,所以我的考察之旅將充滿驚喜!(我是那樣的期待這旅嗎?)
我對第一天遊覽的 小鳥天堂 頗感興趣,看了詹志勇的《天堂小,學問大》後 ,我去了翻查巴金的《鳥的天堂》,兩者的觀點無疑是正面的,前者是香港大學地理系的教授,後者是文壇巨人;理科佬和文科佬相遇,必生出點點星火,雖未至於原,但是總有點火花。作為一位熱愛生物科的學生,我對於教授的說話不禁是有讚同多於否定,但是對於文壇巨人筆下的情感又不得不欽佩—
從人類發展以致環境受到不必要的重大傷害來看,我比較擔心的是我們的下一代能否接觸到這些美麗的自然事物呢??小時候我喜歡通處走,踫見不同小生物會感到好奇、有趣,可是現都不能在香港這小地方復見了— 有不少朋友見到小昆蟲如見毒蛇猛獸,想除之而後快,害怕會被小小的蟲子所傷害,所意在自己的心理安全和小生物的小生命之間作出了一個看似無關痛癢的抉擇— 把弱小的滅口。
人總是為自己的利益出發,把比自己遠古的鄰居一一滅口,為的只是心理的安全或是不小心而不知道後果的污染行為,這只是藉口,只有會說話的人類才能製造— 看來還是當小鳥比較好,人你什麼也不用管,只要好得吃,把生命延續下去,就是惟一的使命。
Almost every step I have started I have thought about the consequence!
No one can do such things to me as I am only working hard by myself !
I hate she becase she just shout at me without reasons!!
I am not born to serve you or to be vented by your anger !!!
I hate reminding everything twice just because you don't listen and STOP saying that the fault is on MY OWN !
I hate you yell at me and pretend that you are the only one faultless !!
Wrath is over me NOW and I don't think it will disappear easily!
I want myself to remember this FEELING and do not forget or forgive ;
I told myself that some days later I will be on my own and never look back on YOU ; I will live a much better life than yours !!
MY FURY will continuous until I can move out this house !!
Waite and see how long I will make these words HAPPEN !!
I will count for myself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
放假的好處是可以自遊自在,愛到哪便去哪,沒有別人強逼你的行程(只有自己強逼自己),約朋友出門也是自己決定的—
不如去哪裡吧?還是那裡好?相約何時?要不要帶些甚麼?倒是要......
問題多多但勝在享受過程,喜歡跟朋友聊天,愈該愈起勁,但快樂的時光永是匆匆過去,暫別的時刻總又再來臨,不得不說:「拜拜,遲些再見吧!」、「待回再電聯喔!」;說着說着,回到家裡也未至於「恩愛非常」,吹水、煲粥,傾唔斷氣,只是把心情停留在快樂的一刻,無用理會脫口而去的是甚麼,那便是會朋友的樂趣!
把心境保持在開朗和愉快之間,這便是放假的用處。
